    E-m1 12-100 vs E-m5 12-45 form factor -minor or significant difference

    I just sold off my m43 gear, mainly an E-m1 ii with the 12-100 f4 mounted to it, because it had turned into more weight and bulk than I was willing to routinely carry on outings (family backpacks where I'm already carrying the kitchen sink, remote backcountry climbing and bushwhacking with...

    Help me pick computer for photo editing

    Considering going this route, certainly sounds straightforward enough. The superfast 1-2TB SSD drives seem pretty cheap component wise. Thaanks for all the advice

    Help me pick computer for photo editing

    Pro Master L Plate For Olympus OMD EMI MII

    He’s right. Though if you don’t want to spend $180 I just ground off the small lip on the back left corner (of the bracket!) on a bench grinder and it’s fits great. Otherwise it seems just fine.

    I'd Like to see a price drop on 12-100 f4

    I finally broke down and bought a used one from Keh. From all appearances it looked and performed like new. They seem to have routine coupons that helped.

    Breakthrough X2 vs X4 ND filters? Real world experience?

    I just returned an X2 UV filter. First time out I had green flare blobs in numerous photos and the filter ring itself was quite thick. Getting a B+W xs-pro 010 which never gave me trouble on another lense. Wouldn't recommend the X2.

    Why is the Pana GM5 so Rare?!

    So with GM5 being the unicorn of m43 what’s my second best option for a super compact body that I might actually be able to purchase? I guess there’s no truly compact option with an evf, which is a real buzzkill. Seems like the best options are as follows GM1 of course GX850, what advantage...

    Breakthrough X2 vs X4 ND filters? Real world experience?

    With a desire to try some long exposure photography I'm looking at purchasing a 10-stop and possibly 6-stop ND filter. Seems like it's Breakthrough or bust (they seem to have done an excellent job of cornering the ND filter internet reviews). But yikes! they cost a pretty penny. A 72mm X4...

    Reporting Fraudulent Buyers?

    I had an item listed for sale here. A buyer (from FL of course) contacted me through pm's. We negotiated a price and he claimed to have made payment. I boxed the item up and of course checked that payment had occurred via Paypal. The buyer had paid $1. On contact their bizarre reply...

    ISO

    I've just recently gotten back into photography after a number of years where I slowly devolved to an iphone shooter. While the weather was clear in December I started trying to do some astrophotography with my e-m1 ii. The simple stuff, single frame or stacked frame with exposures in the...

    Lens Test 15mm f1.7 Panasonic-Leica

    The 15 1.7 has significant vignetting wide open (and not very sharp corners). Improves substantially stopped down by even a 1/3 or 2/3 stop.

    M43 Rumours (FT4) - New EM1.2 firmware update coming soon.

    Is more pixels really what everyone wants? If you’re really going for the massive print,probably landscape, seems like you’d be putting it on a tripod regardless. How about improved in camera HDR processing? That would seem to be a more useful improvement in line with what many people are...

    S-AF+MF with shutter delay

    Thanks for all the replies (well except for the snarky one...) . Manual focus wit the ael/afl button set to mode 3 seems to be the best configuration for what I was looking for.

    S-AF+MF with shutter delay

    Hello. New to m43 and mu43.com and hesitant to have one my first posts be a noob question, but it's driving me nuts. In low light I've been using S-AF+MF along with a delayed electronic shutter release (silent mode with delay of 1 second). After I carefully manually adjust focus and...

    Getting the best out of your equipment

    Did an iso invariance test last evening on my e-m1 ii and found similar results. 1600 may have had slightly less noise than 800 but 800 seemed to retain a little more edge detail (this is in raw files). Not sure which to use. I'm trying astro with a PL15 1.7 on the e-m1 ii which is...
